In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now my girl you're so young and prettyAnd one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
I knowWatch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know itHe's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
